MINATOZAKI HAS BEEN CHOSEN!

After around five hours of driving, stops and bathroom breaks, we finally arrived at the orphanage and it was just as I remembered.

Brick walls that was so old the colors had faded, the high barbed fence that was surrounding the area making the old building look like a prison, the old broken playground, the black gate and of course, from the roof I can see the half cut rope that me and she had used turn green from time and is now rotting away.

The memories from this place is that there was barely anything good and more bad. I remember when I was four years old when the hell started, before that there was a previous owner and he was nice but he passed away leaving that old rat to own the orphanage.

Headmistress Oh is what she told us to call her, her husband Mr.Oh was a lawyer and is always away, he was nice, we always wondered how he fell for that old rat.

Mr.Lee drove us in front of the gate since there were no parking lots near the area "I can only park here." He told us

"Don't worry Mr.Lee, you can drive around, we'll call you when we need you." Jihyo eomma tells him once we got out of the van

"Yes ma'am." He bowed and got back inside the van

As I looked at the black gates, I started to feel scared, I started gasping for breath and I backed away.

"I can't-I c can't go back." I muttered

My backed bumped into someone so I turned around and saw Tzuyu eomma.

"Are you okay Yohan?" Sana eomma asks behind me

"Yohan look at me." I heard Tzuyu eomma say

I looked at her again "Eo-eomma?"

"She is not going to hurt you this time," She tells me, her voice firm yet soothing "Not on our watch."

"N-No, she'll find a way to hurt me!" I shake my head

I couldn't control myself, I was scared, anxious and confused. I couldn't breath, I was sweating and I was dizzy.

"He's having a panic attack!" Tzuyu eomma gently sits me down the grass "Yohan listen to me, slow down your breathing, no one is going to hurt you." She tells me quickly

Behind her, my other mothers watched, there faces filled with concern and worry.

"Here, give it to him." Behind her, Chaeyoung eomma hands her a water bottle, then she offers it to me

"Drink, you'll feel better."

I reached for the water, my hand was shaking and I could barely grip it and then I drank, some spilt on my face, I felt refreshed, it calmed me a lot.

After drinking I took slow deep breaths "Let's go."

"Are sure you want to?" Tzuyu eomma asks

I wasn't sure either, do I really have enough courage to go inside the hellhole I barely managed to escape? But coming back...I had help! I have my mothers with me!

"I am sure," I looked up at the others "I have my protectors with me." I let out a small smile

They got me up on my feet and we pressed the bell and after a few seconds a man- my old friend opened the gate.

"Hello, welcome to - Yohan?!" Rowoon looked down at me, he was still tall as ever

"Hyung?" I searched his face, he didn't change one bit except that he grew taller

"You know this guy?" Dahyun eomma asks behind me

"Of course," I smiled, I felt tears in my face as I ran up to my old friend and gave him a hug
